Installed 7770, now no audio?

[LigTasm]

Has anyone else had this happen recently? I bought a 7770 for my light duty rig and upon installing it (was using Intel HD video) and the 13.4 Catalyst I no longer have onboard sound. My wireless headset works fine, and I can see the sound bar moving when I have it set to speakers but no joy.

I've tried a bunch of stuff like enabling and disabling onboard audio, re-installing drivers, etc. Anyone have a tip on how to fix it?

Go into sound and make the onboard audio the default.

I had a weird issue like this for a couple months when I was using AMD/win8. My fix = When I first boot the pc up, I had no sound through my speakers. When it booted up and I had the option to restart my pc. I would restart it, and when it came back on the sound would work.

There is no HDMI audio listed.

Go into sound and make the onboard audio the default.

I guess I wasn't clear, it doesn't matter how many times I set it to default it doesn't output any sound. The green bar moves however showing it is enabled.

Hmm, that's really strange, if you pull the 7770 out, does sound work again?

Just tried it, and no it does not. Hrmm, maybe a re-install of Win8 is in order.

Pop it back in and try a win 8 refresh first, F8 at boot should bring up the menu.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Well, thanks for the help, I'll mess with it some more this weekend as my wireless is still working fine and I don't have much time for it today.

I'll give that refresh a shot tomorrow night.

Just an update, I did eventually fix it. Installing the on-board audio drivers without the sound blaster control panel allowed all audio to work again, apparently it did not like adding another audio device and wasn't removed when I removed the audio drivers.

This is on a Gigabyte G1.sniper M3 that has the integrated recon 3Di or whatever the heck it is.
